Progress Made.

We have made a wonderful advance in
the views of people concerning the manu-
facture aud sale of liquor since 1912
Then was Il time when it was about as
honorable to make and sell whisky as any
other business. Deacons and elders in the
church and even ministers of the Gospel
engaged in the business, and drank as we'll.
| am almost ashamed to tell it, but in 1912
IL the general assembly of the Methodist
church q resolution was introduced. de-
elaring that travelling and local preachers
should not sell liquors, and it was defeated.
Bat four years later, in 1916, the confer
encc retrieved itself. can afford to tell
this, for in 1884 the conference said: 1--WE
are unaltcrably opposed to all taxing and
licensing of the sale Of Intoxicating
liquors That grand advance. Whisky
selling is outlawed by the people. All the
great churches have taken a stand against
rum, (they had no beer them, drank by
each man. woman and child in the country

drank then. \ minister would preach and
go home and take Il drink Then nothing
was thought of church members drinking,
Now if they do drink it is on the sly. if
they go into saloon they try to Slip in by
side door unseen. Now no church
member can manufacture and sell liquor
or drink it and be consistent. That ought
to be a wonderful encouragement to
temperance people.--Dr. Leonard.

Story says; if the liquid is kept tolerably
cool, under seventy-five degrees OF heat,
it is called vinous fermentation; if the
liquid is kept quite warm, between seventy
five and ninety degrees, it is called aeetic
fermentation, because it forms vinegar"
DR.. Hargreaycs says: The juice of all
vegetables and other liquids containing
sugar are capable of alcoholic or vinous
fermentation. Further, "Fermented
liquors are alcoholic beverages; wine is

Refused 10 sign Them.

Mayor BIallcly, of Bordentown, threw a
bomb-shell into the council meeting of that
city the other evening. He returned a
number Of liquor licenses granted by coun-
ell, without his signature and tie seal of
the city, two things necessary to make
these documents valid. lie accompanied
the returned licenses by q very interesting
message, which must have created a sensa-
ton in town where everything asked by
the rumsellers has been granted and no
questions asked. The Mayor says that as
he reads the law these particular licenses
should not have been allowed At the
time they were granted, eanest protests,
with accompanying evidence, were offered,
showing why the parties applying for the
licenses We're not of such character as the
law demands. Mr.. Brakely holds that
without hearing these protests, council had
no right to saddle half dozen possibly ir-
responsible liquor saloons upon the city
The feeling is that the Mayor is right, and
without doubt he will be sustained BY
the people 1t is an encouraging sign Of
the times wien we hear officials talk about
using the provisos of the license law to cut
down the number of rum sellers. Under a
strict construction of the poor license law
we have, at least half Of the saloons and
drinking places in the State could not have
been licensed.

CLOTHING.

This week we have replenish-
ed our stock of ready-nade
clothing at our NEW STORE
under the OPERA HOUSE to
the extent OF several thousand
dollars. The goods are all new,
this seasons cut, and made for
our own sales. Our assortment
is twice as large and more
varied than ever before. While
we have not neglected the low
and medium priced, we have
given more attention to the
finer grades and can fit and suit
the most cxacting. There is no
such stock in South Jersey-not
even in Salem or Bridgeton can
YOU find a stock SO well and ju-
diciously selected. 1t is a well
known fact, which all admit, that
our prices heretofore have been
far below neighboring towns;
our aim this year is to make the
difference more marked and dis
tinct than at any time during
our business existence. All are
invited to come and see our
stock, whether they want to buy
or not. The business is in faith
ful hands and no advantages
taken of those who do not hap
pen to be good judges ofgoods.
Our rule is to tell the truth
about all the goods we sell.

The report OF the Pilesgrove Library AS
ISOLATION in Our local columns does not
show a very ilatteriug prospect ahead for
that time honored institution. That a
public library is good thing in amy com
munity does not need to be said. II is
fact potent to the mind Of every one who
takes the trouble to think about it. and
within the reach Of all. THIS is decidedly
the ease with the Pilesgroye Library. The
membership fee is almost nominal and the
annual tax of 81 90 is rdicnlously small
when we consider the amount of reading
to which it entities the member in the
course of year. while tie charge of five
cents a week for the transient uses OF
book could not well be less. But without
any revenue or financial endowment be-
yond the membership fees aud dues. it is
almost impossible for the library To keep
up with the times. Nobody is to blame
especially. The Trustees are doing all they
can with the resources at band, and cxpen-
ses are unusually light, but the trouble
seems to be a want of interest in the mat
ter on the part of those TO whom such in
stitutions naturally look for substantial as
sistancc. We hope thai some day one or
more of our public spirited citizens may
take it into their heads to give the Piles
grove Library boost.

According to our way of thinking the
vote of 400 does represent the real strength
of the party. The real strength and back
bone of the Prohibition party or any other
party lies in the men who lave the cour-
age of their convictions and tile disposition

men who turn tail and desert tie flag in
the hour of battle because to their eyes THE

not mice. Men that can be depended upon
to stand by and stay la6e with the cause
without stopping to count noses. Men who

Of cable lies in its ability to resist the
last pound of tension that it may be called
